What is Sindhi and where is it spoken?

Sindhi (سنڌي / सिन्धी) is an Indo-Aryan language with around 35 million speakers, primarily in the Pakistani province of Sindh and across India after the 1947 partition. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and an official provincial language in Sindh. Sindh has been a centre of Sufi poetry — Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai's 18th-century Shah Jo Risalo is its best-known literary work.

What's distinctive about Sindhi phonology?

Sindhi has four implosive consonants — ɓ, ɗ, ʄ, ɠ — produced by sucking air inwards rather than blowing it out. These are extremely rare in Indo-European languages and give Sindhi a distinctive sound. The Perso-Arabic alphabet used in Pakistan has 52 letters to accommodate the language's wider sound inventory; the Devanagari version used in India has additional diacritics for implosives.
